+/**
+ * This interface represents a content sink for generic XML files.
+ * The goal of this sink is to deal with XML documents that do not
+ * have pre-built semantics, though it may also be implemented for
+ * cases in which semantics are hard-wired.
+ *
+ * The expectation is that the parser has already performed
+ * well-formedness and validity checking.
+ *
+ * XXX The expectation is that entity expansion will be done by the sink
+ * itself. This would require, however, that the sink has the ability
+ * to query the parser for entity replacement text.
+ *
+ * XXX This interface does not contain a mechanism for the sink to
+ * get specific schema/DTD information from the parser. This information
+ * may be necessary for entity expansion. It is also necessary for
+ * building the DOM portions that relate to the schema.
+ *
+ * XXX This interface does not deal with the presence of an external
+ * subset. It seems possible that this could be dealt with completely
+ * at the parser level.
